Signature

Daniel James Racovolis (Greek: Δανιήλ Ρακοβολης or Ντανιελ Ρακοβολης, born 23 May 1985) is a chartered accountant and company director.

Early life

Racovolis is the only child of Di Racovolis, the only surviving daughter of Dimitrios Racovolis and Erene Racovolis (nee Moskos) (both deceased). As a child in Melbourne, Racovolis was raised by his mother and maternal grandmother and estranged from his father, Ján Straka (b. 1951), an immigrant from Slovakia. In his primary school years, Racovolis operated a micronation known as Danland, which operated an orienteering competition during lunch times. Racovolis attended Wesley College in Melbourne, where he completed the Victorian Certificate of Education in 2003, and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, where he was active in administrative roles in student groups, graduating with a Bachelor of Business (Accountancy) in 2007.

Career

Racovolis's first business was as a sole trader under the business name Racomedia, a self-publisher. On 1 July 2008, after a post-graduation trip to London, Racovolis became a consulting bookkeeper as a member of the National Institute of Accountants (now the Institute of Public Accountants) initially as a sole trader, under the business name D.J. Racovolis and Associates. Racovolis was engaged to keep the accounts for various businesses in the medical and professional services industries. In 2019, Racovolis obtained the Graduate Certificate in Chartered Accounting and subsequently became a member of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand, and works in business services accountancy. Racovolis became a tax agent in 2024, having previously been admitted as a BAS Agent in 2010. Racovolis is director of three companies he founded, Racovolis Limited (incorporated in England), D.J. Racovolis Services Proprietary Limited and the Enactorate of Urabbaparcensia Proprietary Limited.

Arms

While in high school, Racovolis had assumed a coat of arms designed by the late Colonel D.P. Johnson of the American College of Heraldry. The blazon for the old coat of arms is: Argent on a fess engrailed and counter-engrailed Azure a Greek cross Argent within a horseshoe inverted Or between two fish naiant and addorsed Argent in chief three lozenges in fess Gules and in base three lozenges two and one Azure. On 30 January 2008, the United Kingdom's chief herald, Garter Principal King of Arms (along with Clarenceux and Norroy and Ulster Kings of Arms) granted Racovolis heraldic Arms, following a warrant from the Earl Marshal dated 31 January 2006, two years earlier. The agent in relation to the grant was David White, who later became Garter King of Arms and read out the proclamation of accession of Charles III on 10 September 2022.
